I'm loving the pics/banners/whatever you want to call them, Psycho. Keep 'em up! :dopey:


Edit: I like the autosaving this site does when typing out a post. My computer decided to do a blue screen of death in the middle of my response. :scared: I'm afraid it may be time for a new computer (I seem to get the BSOD about once a month now, and it's getting a little old (the computer and getting the BSOD). I'm not real tech savvy, so it may be a hard drive issue, I don't know). In any case, I'll run this one into the ground.

TURTLE RACING LEAGUE - FLEX RACING SERIES

​
Race 3: January 3, 2015 | Three - 30 Minute Races

Shelby Cobra 427 '66 | Racing Hard

Round 1: Willow Springs International Raceway - Big Willow | 23 Laps

Round 2: Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca | 20 Laps

Round 3: Cote d'Azur | 18 Laps


Helpful Hints for the Shelby Cobra

1: Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
2: Slow in, fast out
3: Race the race, don't race the car


DRIVERS MEETING​

The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports

"It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver, meaning the car that is attempting to execute the pass, to make sure that the pass is made cleanly and incident free."

Rules

You are expected to follow The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports and adhere to the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules and exercise Good Racecraft at all times, especially in turn 1.

"Rubbin"

This is a non-contact sport. Let me put it another way, if you are "rubbin", you ain't racing in this league. We will not tolerate individual drivers taking the fun out of racing for everyone.

First Turn

You are not going to win the race on the 1st turn or the 1st lap. Therefore, it is the policy of this league for you to hold your position in turn 1. Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn on the first lap. You must hold your position through the 1st turn and make no attempt to advance it unless the following situations occur: 1) The driver directly in front of you is asleep on the start. 2) The driver directly in front of you runs off course with at least 2 wheels off the track. 3) Obvious race incidents that must be avoided. Other drivers may draft past you before the approach to turn 1 if it can be done incident free. In other words, if you are able to fully draft past someone without incident or disruption to the other driver(s) with a reasonable distance before approaching the first turn you may. This rule is in place for 2 reason: (1) to avoid incidents in the first turn, and (2) so that drivers doing their part to avoid incidents in the 1st turn of are not taken advantage of. There is no sense in causing an incident in the congestion of the first turn. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to take advantage of other drivers doing their part to keep turn 1 incident free. If a complaint is filed, the decision we make will be one that promotes an incident free first turn.

Dive Bombing

Dive bombing is unacceptable, and only results in accidents. It is not the same as passing under braking. Dive-bombing is when a trailing car intentionally brakes late to dive underneath the car in front of them as they are turning into a corner. The trailing driver must move to the low groove for at least 3-4 seconds prior to corner entry, so that the leading driver can see the trailing drivers intentions in his mirror. However, running the low groove is not a guarantee that he will allow you to pass, it is only an indication that you wish to pass him on the low side.

Procedures

Until everyone has accepted the TURTLE RACING LEAGUE "Community" invitation and we have more experience with the "Community" function we will run the races in an open lobby. Go to "Open Lobby" and check the "Friends Rooms Only" box and look for TURTLE RACING LEAGUE - FLEX RACING SERIES and enter. Races will begin at 10pm Eastern time.

Connection Issues

Please follow the procedures below to help minimize connection issues.

Step 1: Reboot your modem/router
Step 2: Reboot your PS3
Step 3: Clear your GT6 in game System Cache

Pit Stops

Drivers need to be very careful entering the race track when exiting the pit. Please look at your map to see if other drivers are near the pit exit. Drivers exiting the pit need to stay in the pit exit lane until the track is clear of cars on the track. Cars on the track have the right of way.

Quitting

Drivers are expected to finish races no matter what position they are in. Rage quitting is frowned upon! :grumpy:

Microphones

Although you are welcome to use microphones during the race, they should only be used to communicate your proximity to other drivers in order to avoid an incident. Otherwise, either mute them or make sure any background noise in non-existent.

Reminders

1: Hold your position and do not attempt advance it in turn 1 of lap 1
2: If you go off track make sure the track is clear before you re-enter
3: If you cause an accident you must wait and give the position back
4: Watch for cars on the track coming out of the pit, stay to the inside

Race Incidents

Legitimate complaints are encouraged, they insure a better racing environment for everyone. Complaints should be addressed by "Private Message" to the race steward of the race in which the incident occurred. Please include race number, lap number, and time of incident. A ruling will be announced after a video review by an independent steward. All racing incidents or racing related issues shall be dealt with privately and under no circumstance mentioned publicly.

Final Note

Race Clean and Have Fun!

Awesome Racing tonight Everyone! Lots of fun! This was a super challenging car for all 3 tracks. But still very intense and close racing! See you all next Saturday night! Lots of fun! The eiger @RacingOtaku86 combo next Saturday looks like a lot of fun! Dirt and a rally car! Very familiar!

@Dolph Drago you might have to stay in your cobra and just sit on that jump so you will see a bunch of audis flying over you :lol: that was great tonight after the races :lol:

Also thanks to @Psycho Turtle for hosting last night! 👍
 
:lol:Happy New Year from Argentina everybody! (A little late but we're turtles after all)
Good news: I'll have my PS3 back in two weeks.
Bad news: I burnt my right hand so I will have to Niki Lauda for a few weeks. :ill:

Race Recap

SprintCupChamp1 continues to dominate, winning all 3 races for 1st Place overall. 2nd Place went to WestCoastZ who had the fastest lap in 2 of the 3 races. I have a feeling we saw a little rust. Once that gets knocked off, watch out. Congratulations and welcome WestCoastZ! GTP_Ph1sher is back and did very well considering his extended leave. A 2nd Place finish and two 3rd Place finishes was good enough for 3rd Place overall. Welcome back GTP_Ph1sher! chocochocochip5 raced consistently well for 4th Place overall. DolphDrago raced on and off and on and off and on and off the track for 5th place overall. Psycho-Tuber (me) stayed on the track well enough for a 6th Place overall finish. micantony had a wild ride while giving an exhibition of all the handling flaws of the Shelby Cobra 427 '66 for 7th Place overall. gears1000 who finished in 8th place has good speed, when he adds a little more consistency to the mix he will move up the ranks quickly. Titanzdude only finished 2 of the 3 races, but that was good enough for 9th Place overall. BustedFoSho probably would have finished a couple of places higher than 10th Place if it weren't for technical difficulties (lens popped out his glasses). BionicDerp got the Pole and poof he was gone. BionicDerp finished in 11th Place with 1 point for the Pole. Oh, what might have been. Great racing guys!


Thoughts

The FLEX RACING SERIES is a challenging series designed to test both ability and resolve. You will need both to do well here.

Is my rally skills that legendary among the Turtles? Yeah sure, I won with the R34 Skyline in GT5 (Psycho SHOULD remember that one), the second time we went rallying (can't remember) it was more of the same (but with WRC cars), and the very last time we went rallying... I don't want to think about that one (ie. Chamonix).

It's humbling that you're naming a event after me, but I think I have more competition this time, namely Bionic and Sprint. I don't know how well Sprint does in the gravel, but I think he might do his usual thing and leave us in the dust. BUT, that doesn't mean I won't try my hardest.

I have a feeling you'd pick it up again pretty fast and beat a good few of us. Did you do any rallying in the WRS?
